Don't Smother Your Mother When Melissa Johnson's husband crosses the line, she pulls out her .45, fires a few warning shots, and boots his butt out the door. He disappears, leaving her to raise three little boys on her own. It is now twenty-three years later, Melissa is struggling to make ends meet, and her three grown sons are still living at home. Tired of supporting them, she finally puts her foot down and gives them three months to move out. However, before they pack up and leave, Melissa comes into a windfall, and they decide they aren't going anywhere. Disappearing steps, objects falling from trees, shots being fired and a missing toe makes Melissa start to think that someone just might be trying to kill her. For the first time in years, she cleans her gun, loads it, and puts it under her pillow.
